Aside from the IRA's campaigns in Ireland, what movements could have led to insurgencies after World War II in western Europe?
The Basque conflict is often under-estimated outside of the region. Fuller research on that might find its what you're looking for
If anything, it is overestimated. Only two posts above, Strategos makes it look as if it was some kind of popular intifada against the spaniards, when in fact ETA is today only a minority group among basque nationalists, most basques do not care about independence and wish ETA would just disappear; and ETA is no more than a glorified mafia anymore.

What about some sort of widespread anger at the Italian government if Operation: Gladio somehow was leaked out after the P2 lodge scandal?
Okay, forget the Ireland-style uprising idea. Who were the most violent + capable + tenacious paramilitary anti-government groups, besides the IRA, ETA, FLNC, and RAF?
So which countries in Europe (outside of the Balkans) have violent ethnic/nationalist separatists? I'd say the U.K., France, and Spain. Why not Italy? Or Germany?
